Convincing, short (12 pages) biblical proof that Jesus is fully divine as God Almighty. Mostly scripture.

1. Prophet, Great Moral Teacher or Archangel?
Some people who do not accept Jesus as God will often say
that Jesus is just a great moral teacher, a prophet or perhaps a
great archangel.
Jesus can be none of the above, as author and Cambridge
University Professor Dr. C.S. Lewis wrote in his book Mere Jesus is God
Christianity: "A man who was merely a man and said the
sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral
teacher. He would either be a lunatic... or else he would The Biblical Proof
have to be the Devil of hell."
• How could Jesus be a great moral teacher or prophet of
God if He deliberately lied about His identity?
• How could He be a holy man or holy archangel and allow
humans to worship Him on earth and in heaven?
• Or how could a godly man or godly angel tell people they
must believe in Him and God--for salvation?
• How could any man or angel promise that He alone--not
God--can give them eternal life?
• How could any godly man or holy angel claim the titles,
attributes and functions of God?
Everyone has to make a choice about who Jesus is.
From what He said and did and from what the Bible says about
Him:
Jesus can only be a liar, lunatic, devil...or Lord!
Who do you say Jesus is?
Choose wisely. Your eternity depends on your choice.

Why Is This So Important? • Jesus Claims the Sacred Name of God: “I tell you

and obey Him and His words in the Bible. • "Believe in God, believe also in Me." (John 14:1)
• Given what Jesus claimed for Himself, Jesus can only - Jesus taught that "...that all should honor the Son just
